Embodiment I

[0060] The following describes the formation of Li 3 M’M” (PO 4 ) 3 Preferred steps for compounding active materials. Li 3 M’M” (PO 4 ) 3 The preparation method will use Li 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 (Li 3 m 2 (PO 4 ) 3 ) formation to illustrate. The basic steps include making a lithium compound preferably lithium carbonate, a metal oxide preferably vanadium pentoxide and a phosphoric acid derivative preferably ammonium phosphate, ammonium phosphate NH 4 h 2 (PO 4 ) or (NH 4 ) 2 H(PO 4 ) to react. Each precursor material was purchased from a number of chemicals including Aldrich Chemical Company and Fluka. with approximately stoichiometric Li 2 co 3 , V 2 o 5 and (NH 4 )2 HPO 4 Preparation of Li from a mixture of 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 . However, using a 5% excess of lithium (in the form of lithium carbonate) makes (Li 2 (O form) loss of lithium is minimized. The precursor materials were mixed carefully and then ground in a solution of methanol for about 30 minu...

Embodiment II

[0065] The Li prepared above was immediately tested in an electrochemical cell 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 . A positive electrode was first prepared from this compound as described in the "Positive Electrode" section. The negative electrode is lithium metal. The electrolyte is a 2:1 weight ratio mixture of ethylene carbonate and dimethyl carbonate with 1 molar concentration of LiPF dissolved in it 6 . The battery cycles between about 3.0-4.3 volts and performs as figure 1 , 2 , 3, 4A and 4B.

[0066] figure 1 shows the voltage graph of the test cell, with the Li 3 M’M” (PO 4 ) 3 Based on the positive active material, a lithium metal counter electrode is used. figure 1 The data shown in are using the electrochemical voltage spectroscopy (EVS) technique. Electrochemical and kinetic data were recorded using the electrochemical voltage spectroscopy (EVS) technique. This technique is known in the art as described in J. Barker in Synth Met 28, D217 (1989), Synth Met 32, 43 (1969)...

Embodiment III

[0070] Embodiment III (hexagonal crystal Li 3 AlV(PO 4 ) 3 )

[0071] The following describes the preparation of Li 3 AlV(PO 4 ) 3 Methods. The basic steps include the reaction between lithium carbonate, aluminum hydroxide, vanadium oxide and ammonium phosphate according to the following equation:

[0072]

[0073] As described in Example 1, the precursor materials were first carefully ground and mixed. After mixing, the mixed powdered precursors were pressed into pellets, followed by heating at about 250° C. for about 6 hours under an argon atmosphere. The temperature was then increased to 600°C, also under argon, for 12 hours. Then, cool, grind and then granulate. Then, it was heated at a temperature of about 940° C. for about 15 hours under an argon atmosphere.

[0074] CuKα X-ray diffraction analysis was performed on the final product as described in Example 1. The unit cell parameters are shown in Table H.

Abstract

The present invention provides an electrochemical cell using an electrode containing a phosphorus compound containing lithium metal.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to improved materials useful as electrode active materials, methods for their manufacture, and electrodes made therefrom for use in electrochemical cells in batteries. background of the invention [0002] Lithium batteries are made from one or more lithium electrochemical cells containing electrochemically active materials. Such electrochemical cells generally include an anode (negative electrode), a cathode (positive electrode), and an electrolyte positioned between the positive and negative electrodes that are spaced apart. Batteries having a lithium metal anode and a cathode active material comprising a metal chalcogenide are known. The electrolyte typically comprises a lithium salt dissolved in one or more solvents, typically a non-aqueous (protic) organic solvent. Other electrolytes are solid electrolytes, generally called polymer matrices, containing an ionically conductive medium, usually metal powder or salt, ...
